I updated the answer. I would suggest you learn about `CSS` and use a stylesheet instead. In the answer below, I do not show how to use a `CSS` stylesheet. — SedJ601, Sep 18 '17 at 19:00

Here is an example:

<?import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane?>

<AnchorPane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" style="-fx-background-color: blue;" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.60" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" />

If you are using Scene Builder, you should learn how to use this section under Properties:

You can also use a CSS stylesheet to accomplish this.
